The anonymous @BlazerLegacy disinformation feed I threaded on is getting worse. Now it's absolving Trump of collusion with China, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, Qatar and others on the claim it was all by Russian directive. And attacking another Trump-book author, @ScottMStedman.
PS/ Moreover, the disinformation being spread by the "Uncle Blazer" entity on the counterintelligence probe is getting worse. The counterintelligence probe began in 2015; @BlazerLegacy wants to erase all 2015-16 intelligence to say the probe began in 2017. theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/a…
PS2/ This has been an argument of the far right for years—that the predicate for the counterintelligence probe of Trump was FISA surveillance of Page in late 2016 and 2017 (i.e., a Steele dossier-based FISA app).

But that's a lie: the USIC had damning Trump-Russia intel in 2015.
PS3/ I still don't claim to know what the disinformation operation being run by the @BlazerLegacy "entity" is angling toward. But we know it's a persona that hijacked a popular—defunct—"#Resistance" account, and it's now obsessively attacking half a dozen prominent Trump critics.
PS4/ @ScottMStedman—under attack by @BlazerLegacy—wrote REAL NEWS, a book on Trump that was part of a course of independent investigation/research that produced a lawsuit threat from Oleg Deripaska, the Russian oligarch and Putin agent at the center of '16 Trump-Russia collusion.
PS5/ The @BlazerLegacy entity claims Russian mobsters are trying to kill "him" (we've no idea if the author of the feed is male, or if there's only one author). The accusation is directed at Lev Parnas and his lawyer; Parnas is offering to be a witness against Trump and Giuliani.
PS6/ I said in my recent thread on this disinformation entity that as soon as Vol. 5 of the SSCI Report is released—a report I've repeatedly said will be "damning," but not more than Mueller's report already was—@BlazerLegacy will disappear. The entity appears to confirm it now.
PS7/ Again, if people are wondering why I focus on this, it's because the USIC has told us that disinformation accounts are seeking, pre-election, to gather huge followings while falsely portraying themselves as Trumpists or—alternately—the #Resistance. We've got a live one here.
PS8/ This account accrued 22,000+ followers in 4 weeks, while following no one; SparkToro expresses concerns about the validity of its followers. The account never attacks Trump's agents, only Trump's critics, and it promises—falsely—the USIC is about to "nab" Trump pre-election.
PS9/ The "Uncle Blazer" concept, when it was run by a different anonymous person in 2018 and 2019, accrued 100,000+ followers; the clear aim by the current disinformation entity behind this now-defunct meme is to do the same—and with 90 days before the election, that's dangerous.
PS10/ I try not to evangelize to folks about following specific Trump critics—I feel like everyone should make up their own minds about who to follow or not. But I've no problem *strongly* urging everyone to warn their own followers about a disinformation feed like @BlazerLegacy.
